Lionel: Let's edit the new intro paragraph

Lionel_Wolberger: Today's world wide web is a complex blend of multiple original sources, mediated by server-side code to deliver a cohesive user experience to an end user's device.
… It is the result of a design and development process yielding experiences that work well for certain users but fail for others, especially if W3C best practices are not observed.
… As a result, many websites and online applications remain inaccessible to people with disabilities using assistive technology.

<Shaun> Apologies, I have to pickup my daughter. It's been fun. I'll see you again!

janina: 2nd paragraph
… The current approach to addressing this critical issue requires that developers update the server-side code to more closely conform with accessibility standards.
… However, modifying the original code is often viewed by business owners as time-consuming, costly, and in some cases, infeasible.
… This document explores how post-source adaptation modifying the user experience rendering the client-side code can allow accessibility without requiring changes to the original code.
